dammit turns out having everything on literal maximum and draw distance at infinite is bad
#R18 (suspended)
lofty thistle
sharp bone
What is rt set at in your ini?
sharp bone
Yeah I toned down draw distance and radiuses in my ini tweak but its old and dont think its that effective anymore
steady glacier
sharp bone
nice
lofty thistle
the problem with exposure is that it exposes even dark areas
so i got to tweak that
lofty thistle
steady glacier
I talk too much
lofty thistle
hahaha
sharp bone
What would really come in handy is I saw for witcher 3 there is an in game env preview mod. Would really help right now in Cyberpunk to see values in real time
lol
lofty thistle
just add more contrast i guess :)
sharp bone
Looks like yeah bit more cause of how the hud is a bit more red
lofty thistle
not e3, but really pretty :')
steady glacier
POOP3R 2
steady glacier
ughh WolvenKit!! lol
Yeah I hate Wolven
seems to be working alright with my vortex mods though now
prob did a user error moment
steady glacier
uuuhhh umm
lighting isn't laid out the same at all, but yeah it looks a lot closer now
lofty thistle
colorgrading does wonders
steady glacier
lighting isn't laid out the same at all, but yeah it looks a lot closer now
as close as I could get it
steady glacier
colorgrading does wonders
looks nothing like the demo but it also looks good
sharp bone
UFFA both look great
sharp bone
Time of day and gamma are factors as well
steady glacier
true
I'm on 1.0 gamma at 12 pm
in that screen
honestly I think it's the shadows
like
not sure what the term is
for it
it needs like
depth
lofty thistle
a little yellow and pink on the sun
steady glacier
yeah
less blue more yellow on the sun
would look better
it really needs that sun bleached look
that the demo had
lofty thistle
pretty perfect imo
steady glacier
yeah that is pretty damn close, it's hard to make direct comparisons without the sun being exactly the same
unfortunately
position wise I mean
lofty thistle
mhmm
no problem
I am really proud right now lmao
shadows are literally on point, you must admit
steady glacier
yeah you got the shadows down
that's for sure
I think the sun and contrast still need fiddling, just a tad, I know I sound like a broken record
just trying to get it like
perfect
well, speaking of shadows, they need just a tiny itty bit less blue
they were like
black
steady glacier
you are probably right
can you upload the newest build with those changes? I wanna see for myself
lofty thistle
looks good to me
sharp bone
I tried to mess with the exposure myself and somhow it turned super blue lol. Learning this stuff is tricky
It is looking better and better
steady glacier
looks good to me
hmmm
lofty thistle
I'm gonna be kinda mean for a sec, but dammit lexar, get on the project!
sharp bone
lol
steady glacier
lol yeah I feel bad that you are doing it all rn
steady glacier
looks good to me
it could be because of the sidewalk coloration, but it seems a tad bluer than demo
sharp bone
Wish i was a bit more knowledgeable to help out with the env more
steady glacier
Wish i was a bit more knowledgeable to help out with the env more
yeah same
I feel bad constantly suggesting shit but not knowing how to fix it
cause I'd just do it myself
and test
steady glacier

or like, maybe it has too much contrast
someting
steady glacier
rip
didn't mean to push so hard if that's what did it, was just trying to help
ty for working so hard on it though
just take a break
sharp bone
all good. You got results already
@lofty thistle Do you have that beta text thing after all?
lofty thistle
yes! I do
steady glacier
Null e3 UI mod when?
lofty thistle
steady glacier
ohhh you mean that thing
that's funny
I could tell my friends I got the demo build
steady glacier
"Yeah bro, real demo build, right here, it's preem, they actually finished the whole game, contrary to popular belief"
sharp bone
I believe actually alot of it was done before Keanu. I think that build is still out there which was basically 2018. Then 2019 you could see the changes that started happening like it was another game.
steady glacier
maybe
lofty thistle
No
the build is not out there
Fuzzo has it but just won't sacrifice his complete workplace reputation and get blacklisted on the game development profession for us :(((((
sharp bone
There was atleast obvious story changes cause 2018 had the line about Silverhand was only missing for a year.
and well by out there meant in a drawer at cdpr somewhere lol
steady glacier
There was atleast obvious story changes cause 2018 had the line about Silverhand...
that never made sense to me lmao
can you imagine how disjointed the story would be if Johnny was in his 80's and it never addressed what happened to him in the TTRPG?
sharp bone
Yeah cause 2023 is canon and was long before the demo. They were prob just going to have him get out originally. And be a side character like Rogue. But then Keanu was brought on and then they went more how they should have and did the relic thing to have him be in the whole game.
steady glacier
I guess yeah
as much as people wanna deny it, the game did need some sort of bigger plot like Johnny
If you were just a solo, and there was no bigger objective or story to the game, it'd get real old real fast
sharp bone
I agree I love the Johnny aspect
But also heard interesting stuff about how your choice of background would change the side character involved in your story with you. Street Kid Johnny, Corpo Saburo, and Nomad Blackhand. Or something like that.
steady glacier
that'd be.. interesting
lofty thistle
saburo sidecharacter would be so interesting
sharp bone
So yeah could have been interesting before the final version with relic Johnny as well
steady glacier
overall, I think the final story is good
sharp bone
yup
sharp bone
if the beta thing is a mod could u upload it by chance Null?
And yeah there isnt a part of the story in CP I didnt like
steady glacier
And yeah there isnt a part of the story in CP I didnt like
I think the only stupid part is the fact that the bullet somehow stayed whole despite hitting the chip in V's brain
sharp bone
Which is rare cause even with Fallout which I love also some stuff gets boring. Like the god damn F4 settlement crap
True but also look at what happened in Mafia 3 also when he got shot
steady glacier
that was way different
it hit the side of his head and ricocheted off the skull
which happens a lot irl
more than you'd think
sharp bone
ahh I thought that was made up for the plot
steady glacier
the skull is a hard ass bone
sharp bone
Damn thats crazy. Didnt think that hard though
steady glacier
but in V's case, that shit didn't ricochet, it hit the chip, so any way you spin it, the bullet would have fragmented everywhere
sharp bone
True
steady glacier
so idk how they somehow got the bullet back together for that necklace
unless they glued it
sharp bone
Could have actually
steady glacier
maybe, seems like something Misty would do
sharp bone
It doesnt look completley perfect in the necklace
steady glacier
I mean, I guess it's possible it hit the chip and just got flattened I guess
but that's like
really stretching
Dex's gun would have to have had a really slow bullet velocity
I know this is a small ass detail, I just thought it was funny
prob just an oversight
sharp bone
Also the fact they said his revolver was a small caliber. They prob did think about like you said and tried to cover it. But no such thing as a small caliber full sized revolver
steady glacier
well, his gun isn't a revolver
it's an extended barrel unity
with a compensator
so it's chambered in 45.
which the bullet in the necklace does look like a 45. bullet
sharp bone
Oh thats right my bad lol. Was all thinking e3 mode lol
He had a revolver in the trailer
steady glacier
yeah lol
sharp bone
I forgot about Plan B lol
steady glacier
kinda hate all the "unique" unity reskins
would be cooler if he used a unique revolver
steady glacier
yeah 45. big boi caliber
don't like how the unity sounds in game though
- is big, but it doesn't sound that bassy or powerful
sorta just sounds like 9mm
in all honesty
lofty thistle
steady glacier
yo also @sharp bone you see how these sidewalks are blue in vanilla?
could you maybe retex them
to grey
like in the demo
lofty thistle
im going to take a shower
steady glacier
wowzies
steady glacier
im going to take a shower
take shower
lofty thistle
im saying get back on topic you nerds
sharp bone
Lol yes
steady glacier
why'd they make sidewalks blue
lofty thistle
im done tbh
sharp bone
I think its just shadows at certain angles will have some blue. Dont know if that can be overcome
lofty thistle
project is for now kinda on hold
steady glacier
I think its just shadows at certain angles will have some blue. Dont know if tha...
nah bruh the sidewalks are blue, you can see the paint
sharp bone
Ahh alright. And ok Null hope you get some rest.
steady glacier
project is for now kinda on hold
sadge
lofty thistle
will get back to it one day when CDPR gives some documentation
or lexar actually helps
i have the hugest headacge
sharp bone
Hell yeah
steady glacier
metal gear in general
Yeah I love 3, Peace Walker, and the V games
oh btw skater, those roads are very nice
it'd be cool if you could work with null to maybe make a few things look more like demo, not sure if you want to or can though
just texture wise I mean
inner tendon
Holly molly you guys just can't stop 😂
Well, what do I need? That alternative road textures?
And also @lofty thistle , i beg you to remove that shitty volumetric / fog from the base game. That makes everything so washed out and not e3 like. Ye ye, colorgrading, exposure and such are WAY better than yesterday but the main thing is that the demo is CONTRASTY and has little or no volumetrics / fog. That's why the sun popped bright imo.
@steady glacier What's your view on this?
steady glacier
Yeah I somewhat agree
like
hold on
this is mod
^
e3
the volumetrics seem to wash it out
they hide the depth
from surfaces in the background
inner tendon
Let me watch it on yt, I think the demo also had volumetrics but not that much.
steady glacier
Yeah, just fyi though, null said he's a bit burnt out
I don't wanna push him too hard cause I sorta gave a ton of feedback today
and ik it can be annoying
to constantly be critiqued
even though I meant it in good faith
steady glacier
hmm
maybe
it doesn't help though that his partner for R18 hasn't done anything yet
inner tendon
A sidenote: I checked the demo, the demo doesn't use fog. Only in the distance.
inner tendon

probably to hide the unfinished map
inner tendon
probably to hide the unfinished map
Exactly, but it looks good
steady glacier
yeah agreed
plus without some fog, the lod in the distance can get pretty scuffed

maybe

If you read this once:
Get me in the team. I can do 2D pictures, I can edit videos. I can make the nexus page or stuff like that. Sadly, I have never worked on cp but if you willing to teach me, I'm full in. I recommend you to make a trello, that helps with the workflow and burning out.
steady glacier

if you need extra hands I'm in
I just need to know how it all works
and I can also edit vids and pics
steady glacier

I haven't tried image scaling before
never heard anyone use it from the control panel

not scaling, come into a call and i'll show you

Nope
you guys don't know what you're talking about
the vol fog is pretty essential
inner tendon
than let me hear it
inner tendon
the vol fog is pretty essential
Just make it minimal as possible
lofty thistle
like a LOT
It has a shorter range, but there is definitely a lot of it
it gives it its ethereal look, with the bloom of the scattering of the vol fog
random owl
Are you able to add more?
lofty thistle
yes but i thinkj we're good for right now
inner tendon
it gives it its ethereal look, with the bloom of the scattering of the vol fog
yeah but it's not e3
random owl
Agreed. It looks glorious.
inner tendon
looks good, but not like in the demo
sharp bone
I agree with keeping fog. Fog isnt the problem and I think it adds to the games look with a populated poluted city. The problem is the haze is a bit to dense. Haze and fog are different things and think by making the haze be maybe a little further away would help.
And @steady glacier Thank you so much for the kind words. I would really like to help more and its not that I dont want to. Im just not experienced enough to really help like I wish I could. Hopefully over the years I can figure more out
Have you updated the build @lofty thistle ?
lofty thistle
yes
sharp bone
Nice. Ill give it a try when I get back. Got some errands to do
lofty thistle
me too
sharp bone
But yeah I was even trying to figure out to help out with exposure in the env file last night. And all I ended up doing was somehow making the game glow blue lol
So as long as i can help a bit and not break anything then im glad to do that lol
lofty thistle
sun looking nice
inner tendon
can you please update the files on github?
I want to test it
because modus and I did some testing and on the edge of the city the sun just bugged out of existence
lofty thistle
inner tendon
thanks!
edgy mirage
sun looking nice
Almost hard to believe that this is in-game. It looks exactly like the demo
Great work
dreamy arrow
sick sable
sharp bone
yeah the sky just glitches
I think thats more of a distant GI bug. Which can be turned off with an ini tweak
Stock game has had issues like that in the past before.
sharp bone
Holy Crap dont go to the badlands. Im blind lol
But yeah its not a GI bug. I saw what you are talking about otw to the badlands. It gets dark like a storm is coming in. But otherwise in the city its looking great. Chromtic Aberation is a bit too strong and still a little light bleeding in interiors. But its looking so much better with color, shadows are improved, and haze and fog is looking great. Just exposure tweaks and I think some less bloom off the fog and its getting there.
Bloom is also strong underwater from the sun

alright im convinced.
Man this makes me wonder
Has anyone ever thought about doing a mod that sets up backgrounds for characters when they're calling the player character? They had em in the E3 demo
sharp bone
main colour updates and little things like this
Awesome work as always Spicy
sharp bone
Has anyone ever thought about doing a mod that sets up backgrounds for character...
I would Imagine probably for the same reason they cut them out is why there is none to add them back. Performance already dips a bit when you are in a call. So having a background in the back would probably tank it.
chrome ore
Darn shame honestly
sharp bone
I agree. If there was time they prob could have optimized it.
If you have the disc for console and dont update it. You can have the backgrounds still in the calls. But there a bunch of issues.
steady glacier
looks good, but not like in the demo
yeah agreed
lofty thistle
steady glacier
yoooo
real
sun just needs more yellow, could also be time of day though
I forgor if sun actually changes colors depending on time
lofty thistle
sharp bone
I forgor if sun actually changes colors depending on time
It does I saw in the env there are points for the sun position in the sky and each one has its own color values
steady glacier
It does I saw in the env there are points for the sun position in the sky and ea...
hmm ok, then yeah
still I think even the sun at like 12
needs to be yellow
*more yellow
imo
idk, what do you think?
sharp bone
I kind of think whatever the color values are for after 3pm is what the sun should be the whole time. But thats just my opinion. Its the best balance of yellow and not too orange
steady glacier
Yeah that's what it seems the demo is at
around 3
cause the sun is very bright but also has a very pronounced yellowish tone
like even right here the sun is pretty damn yellow
sharp bone
Morning it seem to have some blue in it. noon is netural and after 3 starts to go yellow and 5 to 6 more orange before sunset
steady glacier
yeah, I guess it'd be helpful if we knew what time the demo took place
I tried matching the sun pos in the screen above in the base game and it was closest at 12 pm
but idk if that's actually when it took place
sharp bone
Problem is the sun in the demo also shines in different areas then the final game. Im guessing cause of extra buildings in the background that were added
coarse sable
The shaders themselves had to be different back then, no?
sharp bone
They prob had shaders pre cached already just for the small playable area. For the demo
coarse sable
In the meantime, this is the closest I've seen anyone get. Amazing work.
sharp bone
yup
steady glacier
Problem is the sun in the demo also shines in different areas then the final gam...
Yeah that's 100% true, I was just trying to guess which time was most likely to be when that shot in the demo took place
if we are being honest though, it didn't take place at any time, because the demo didn't even have a time cycle yet
chrome ore
Oh yeahhhhhhh. Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah- I installed R18 earlier through MO2 and everything was so washed out and bright that I couldn't see anything in the game. I think I probably installed it wrong. 😭

Yeah you need to use wolvenkit

wdym use wolvenkit? I only use wolvenkit to pack files I mess with into the game. But other mods I just install manually
Just wondering if im doing it wrong lol
steady glacier
wdym use wolvenkit? I only use wolvenkit to pack files I mess with into the game...
You need to use wolvenkit in order to deploy and enable R18
since it uses redmod
it works like R19
sharp bone
oh you mean for non steam version
steady glacier
oh idk if GoG works different, that's just what I had to do in order to make it work in my GoG game
sharp bone
I have steam so I either just install raw archive files or check the function on the launcher for redmod to compile
steady glacier
^
lofty thistle
it's just how it works
sharp bone
ahh ok
lofty thistle
i think redmod like adds itself to the files it replaces itself
not adding to archive/pc/mod
but the .archive files in archive/pc/content
sharp bone
Yeah I figured
Ok so im good on my installs. Just making sure I wasnt adding problems that arent actually there lol
steady glacier
psycho rtx and 4k makes gpu go brrr

Yeah at 4k I get like 20 on balanced
with rtx
at 1080p balanced with RTX I get 50-80
so that's how I play
sharp bone
problem is 3.0 is only going to be on 4000 cards. Slap in the face to people wanting to stay on 3000 and why the more powerful new cards need a better dlss makes no sense
steady glacier
problem is 3.0 is only going to be on 4000 cards. Slap in the face to people wan...
It's because the new version requires actual hardware differences
old cards are physically incapable of running 3.0
sharp bone
Yeah reason im using 1440p Quality dlss right now and with good sharpening looks as good as 4k performance. But psycho rtx and everything else maxed im like 60 through 90 all the time.
Yeah just is a weird move imo
lofty thistle
i hate sharpening
steady glacier
Honestly I just turn sharpening off when I use dlss on 1080p
lofty thistle
mhmm
sharpening is the worst effect created ever
I used to play with it so much]

he's saying to me lol

There are contacts coming out in a couple years that will actually have some features like that and even a ui. Pretty cool
only 20 grand per lense though lol
steady glacier
Yeah, I think the ui thing will fade out quickly though
once brain interfaces become common
because then it'll just link with your brain
lofty thistle
I don't like the thought that there will once be bran links
lofty thistle
exactly
and
companies can fucking read your thoughts
there is no more concept of privacy
it's not worth "cool"
steady glacier
eh
there already isn't privacy
every government and company already collects mass amounts of data on everything digital anyone does
lofty thistle
but? they can't read your thoughts
you can live off the land and not report to a census and at some point they'll think you're dead
not with brain links tho
steady glacier
If you're willing to go that off the grid, I doubt you'd have a brain interface for some reason
lofty thistle
well still
steady glacier
everything in society is digital now, there is no escaping it
but I get the sentiment
anyway here is another shot at like 4 pm
so it seems to match that demo shot, 5:15 is the best time
in terms of sun color anyway
lofty thistle
now sun color is fucking spot on
steady glacier
lofty thistle
it's now down to the details tbh
steady glacier
yeah, you got the general look for that scene spot fucking on

I know how to change the position of the sun, but it ruins some places so I need to think
acoustic sandal
I think there is a separate setup for the first quest, because the visuals suck
steady glacier
I just know that this is what it should look like
generally
around 12
when driving
that could be later than 12 though honestly
it's really hard to tell
sharp bone
I think there is a separate setup for the first quest, because the visuals suck
I think so also. I have noticed that my population mod I made doesnt start working till after atleast the ripperdoc mission. So there very well might be some seperate parameters
acoustic sandal
The problem is: Where is this shit? Because Militech's training room is not env, it's something else
lofty thistle
oh lexar, do you have the updated version yet?
lofty thistle
now sun color is fucking spot on
this one.
sharp bone
hmmm room probably wont have an env. Its probably outside the map like other things. Maybe just the quest itself has data
acoustic sandal
Does anyone out there understand textures well? It would be nice to try to bring the cloud colors of 2018
acoustic sandal
oh lexar, do you have the updated version yet?
Still trying to fix problems
sharp bone
What were the colors? I dont understand Textures that well just can do basic stuff. I can give a look though
acoustic sandal
lofty thistle
ohhhh
sharp bone
hmm ill look
lofty thistle
hmm idk
acoustic sandal
Maybe this
lofty thistle
Hmm
That stuff is like
prebaked
not included in the envs
even ones with special reconstructed data that i have
acoustic sandal
If it's not the texture, it must have some parameter in the clouds file and not in the env
sharp bone
Ill look but prob would need blender and that thing im still trying to figure out lol
I dont think env should change cloud color. Cause I dont think sun color affects them. Doesnt seem to anyway
sharp bone
Especially since after it stops raing clouds just instantly go back to white after grey like its a texture change
sharp bone
envs have an area called CloudAreaSettings
hmm
Maybe its both?
Ill look at this one texture and see if there are others in Wolven
acoustic sandal
Hope you find out how to change the color of clouds

you can fix by deleting mod

yeah ig I could use mods, but it seems like there are tons of LOD mods for different objects instead of an AIO

ahh ok im not too sure then about all settings that can change lod
Its probably an engine streaming thing that idk can be adjusted

steady glacier
bad example but only one I could find short notice
looks like the smoke was white
in this version
sharp bone
Yeah ok so we are onto something here
So it is kind of a texture. Also grey clouds for storms still work. I checked that right now
There is a whether clouds thing so im assuming thats it for grey clouds and will leave that alone
What do you think @acoustic sandal
steady glacier
Cant get freakin clouds its all just clear lol but seems to have changed polluti...
these are also more realistic too
idk what exactly they are making
but most pollution is pure white
in manufacturing
sharp bone
it does still kind of depend on light passing through. There still some grey clouds that are in dark areas with shadows. But all the ones with no shade are now whiter
steady glacier
it does still kind of depend on light passing through. There still some grey clo...
Yeah, that's perfect
exactly how it was in the demo
and realistic
acoustic sandal
Maybe this clouds?
steady glacier
and realistic
like if you ever burn plastic
or something
you'll see the smoke is white
none of this grey shit like in vanilla
lofty thistle
fart
sharp bone
Maybe this clouds?
Yeah im going to mess with that one
sharp bone
lol
steady glacier
Jackie in demo looks.. scary
steady glacier
yeah that's a great place to be considering you guys just started like 3 days ago
lofty thistle
yup
steady glacier
lofty thistle
now that'd be hard to get
lofty thistle
the specific sun pos
sharp bone
Yeah light direction is more intense in the final game
lofty thistle
sharp bone
Others were saying it would be so much better it they could use more then one giant sun for a light source
steady glacier
this is going to be very hard to get right in all locations without that demo sun pos
sharp bone
very very nice
lofty thistle
yupp
steady glacier
yeah, that's the closest I think you can get it
without changing sun pos
for sure
lofty thistle
i've changed the sun as much as i want to
sharp bone
lol
I got an issue where clouds themselves unless it rains just arent popping up. So I need to figure out whats causing that
sharp bone
its just my cloud mod doing it
steady glacier
oh
sharp bone
I remove it and they come back
steady glacier
weird
sharp bone
yup
steady glacier
Null and Lexar carefully crafting the best fucking mod ever to grace the Cyberpunk nexus
sharp bone
Im going to try editing them as a different format instead of tga and see if that works
steady glacier
yeah
lofty thistle
steady glacier
steady glacier
good thing you guys are working together then :)
lofty thistle
steady glacier
sharp bone
Ok i know whats wrong. Im working on fixing it
lofty thistle
sharp bone
nice ill try it right now
steady glacier
My only word of caution is don't be like CDPR, make sure the final release is as perfect as you want it. I have faith in you guys though, just don't want you to release something prematurely out of excitement
not saying you will
I just see too many mods end up like that
lofty thistle
we require more piss sun, get on it
steady glacier
yes
clearly
actually wait
hmm
this shit is confusing
in the demo, it looks like 5 pm but also 10 am
at the same time
like here is 10 am
looks a lot closer
hmmm
also it's probably obvious, but I think haze needs to be toned down a lot
/fog
well, not like
a lot a lot
but a lil
could just be weather though
it's missing that whole no fog type of vibe
from the demo
like if you look at the signs in the background of my pic and compare with demo
you can see what I mean
sharp bone
This will take me a little while to figure out. Clouds are back but arent right. And I didnt change transparancy of the texture or anything. Just brightened it up. Will work more on it
steady glacier
This will take me a little while to figure out. Clouds are back but arent right....
you're getting there choom
lofty thistle
like if you look at the signs in the background of my pic and compare with demo
we also need to take in account the huge highway in the way
steady glacier
we also need to take in account the huge highway in the way
lmfao
want me to get a clearer pic?
steady glacier
eh I can just change the camera angle
lofty thistle
yeah but the geometry itself is different
steady glacier
I’m done for today anyways
That's fine, I'm just tryna pinpoint what exactly I'm talking about
steady glacier
yeah but the geometry itself is different
true
but for this example the geometry is irrelevant
even with the highway in the way, you can see what I mean
I noticed this outside of V's megabuilding too
the haze in demo is almost non existant
steady glacier
ok bet
lofty thistle
but, it is turning down absorption to 0
still need someone from CDPR to reply to my forum post
regarding as to WTF the scattering var is
steady glacier
it is in the 2018 env but doesn’t exist in new ones
Ahh ok
sharp bone
How does this look? And they are a bit softer looking
steady glacier
wow
that looks cool
looks about the same
as these
density wise
and color
sharp bone
thats also cause this is with my lut so they should look better with r18
steady glacier
true
sharp bone
Im going to finish tweaking the weather part of the file and put it here for them to add
There we go. More of them, softer, and more white clouds
steady glacier
acoustic sandal
There we go. More of them, softer, and more white clouds
You fixed clouds texture?
steady glacier
yeah, he also changed the pollution color
so both now look like the demo
more white
steady glacier
skater pro dev

I once changed the sun position just like the demo, now I don't remember what value I used and it's making me angry
sharp bone
There are still some dark spots depending on lighting. But I cant make the whole texture white or will just disappear. And I cant lighten the grey too much or will blend in with the sky. The pics of the first two issues I had I posted earlier. So I just enhanced the white parts that are there in the textures and got rid of the grey around the edges which expanded the clouds.
steady glacier

Damn, I hope you remember
that way it'll be way easier for you guys to pinpoint exactly what needs to be changed
steady glacier

Understandable, it looks great as is
lofty thistle
gosh we're making an e3 team atp
sharp bone
My opacity settings also softend them up to where they look nice and comfy lol. But yeah good looking and the pollution clouds are still more white but are still volumetric
steady glacier
today was an even bigger leap than yesterday
this shit is preem
and lexar is helping now
whole squad is doing their part
love to see it
sharp bone
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14mCTQCqsT3Co6OTUqsTQqFZw_jwW26k4/view?usp=sharing Here you go @lofty thistle @acoustic sandal can add this to the build
sharp bone
ok
lofty thistle
oh can you link it?
lofty thistle
sky looks pretty damn close without tweaking
sharp bone
I know how to integrate them into the build also so they wont have to be optional
steady glacier
distant fog working (kinda)
damnnn that looks a lot better than earlier
sharp bone
oh that looks much better. And yeah I figured that was from movement
acoustic sandal
Now the second step is to know how to decrease the amount of clouds in the env
sharp bone
Thanks im just happy that I can help with my limited skillset. Loving to learn more with modding and with this game that I love. And just lmk when you are settled on the build before release to nexus. And I can integrate the roads and clouds into it. And even if you do more updates all you have to do is mess with the env and param files and wont have to mess with my stuff and it will stay.
steady glacier
I recommend trying to tweak those sidewalks outside of V's apartment next, you could combine that with roads if you want
I know it's minor as shit but blue sidewalks are weird
also I don't think that's the only place those blue sidewalks are used
sharp bone
Yeah I dont think my mod is helping with cloud amount lol. But they look good
steady glacier
Yeah I dont think my mod is helping with cloud amount lol. But they look good
I'll try them out in a little bit
sharp bone
Looking fantastic and even getting rain with some sunlight poking through. I love that cause that actually happens where I live alot
steady glacier
that looks cool as shit
steady glacier
lofty thistle
steady glacier
those fog changes helped alot for sure
if lexar can get new sun pos it'll be really easy to make comparisons
sharp bone
He can but just they will have to check all over the map for problems
steady glacier
eh
lofty thistle
lofty thistle
steady glacier
it is very pretty
lofty thistle
and here's the fog gone
inner tendon
holly shit you did it
steady glacier
that looks so fucking close
steady glacier
cool
lofty thistle
that's good for one day i think
lofty thistle
feral ferry
yummy
lofty thistle
ohhhh somehow the fog is inverted wtf
lofty thistle
well
that might be the cause tbh
I don't want to understate skater's work, but I won't be including it for now
so remove it for now as the mod is made without it
the roads i'll be including tho
steady glacier
it was not cloud mod
lofty thistle
it wasn't????
steady glacier
no
lofty thistle
weirdddd
well idk what's going on but works perfectly for me
these are the kinds of bugs that bug me to death
steady glacier
well like I said, I have no conflicting mods
sharp bone
oh I know exactly what it is. I can fix it
lofty thistle
well im logging off for today anyways
sharp bone
I forgot the whole wolvenkit likes to flip textures thing
lofty thistle
im real tired
steady glacier
I forgot the whole wolvenkit likes to flip textures thing
even with your mod off it still does it though
steady glacier
it's R18
sharp bone
either way it is a thing that needs to be fixed
lofty thistle
modus i'll deal with it tomorrow
steady glacier
wait, was I supposed to install the clouds with wolven?
sharp bone
Get you rest Null. More then excellent stuff today.
Actually kind of too much great progress for just one day
lol
sharp bone
true
lofty thistle
most things are identical to E3 demo
they just need tweaking
L3X4R also came in clutch today
hahah
sharp bone
And no Modus clouds can just be archived. It was made with 1.52 wolven kit. No redmod data
steady glacier
most things are identical to E3 demo
Yeah agreed, it has a good foundation, now we are entering the phase of very repetitive and meticulous tweaking to get it jussst right
steady glacier
And no Modus clouds can just be archived. It was made with 1.52 wolven kit. No r...
k
sharp bone
lol and hell yeah you both are great
lofty thistle
but the game already looks so fucking close i could uplaod it right now and people would love it to literal death
but we are still in pre-alpha and i swear to god i'll release it on halloween
mark my words
steady glacier
but seriously I do think sun and fog/haze/whatever are like the two things that still needs some tweaks n stuff, oh and that light beam whatever thing from demo files
steady glacier
but we are still in pre-alpha and i swear to god i'll release it on halloween
based
lofty thistle
i need scattering
steady glacier
yeah
lofty thistle
come on CDPR give me what the fuck scattering is
sharp bone
Hell yeah they would
steady glacier
come on CDPR give me what the fuck scattering is
maybe it's what makes the light look so realistic in this scene
idk
reaching at this point
lofty thistle
yup exactly
sharp bone
Interior shot on the street like exact like the demo when they are in the shootout
lofty thistle
yeah i think so
only thing im missing
still need to set albedo
but since new wkit can't add variables
im kinda stuck
hey actually skater
do you have 010 editor?
steady glacier
only thing im missing
sharp bone
whats that? prob no since im ignorant about it lol
sharp bone
sorry
Version of Wolven or something?
Oh hex. I do have a hex editor yeah. Not that exact one but I used it for the amd thing back when
lofty thistle
no nevermind
sharp bone
ok sorry about that
lofty thistle
hmm
can you add variables in both albedoNear and albedoFar
specifically 10
in this file?
within DistantFogAreaSettings
sharp bone
Ill look into it
sharp bone
ok
lofty thistle
doesn't matter what they have inside, i jsut need the 10 variables lmao
